SUNDAY LESSON

The Brave and Broken Hearted

October 25 | 10 AM

Join our public service* or watch online.

Join Reverend Steve Towles this Sunday for lesson 4 in our Fall Faith in Action Series based on Brené Brown’s Book RISING STRONG. By viewing your life as an unfolding journey and a process, you will develop courage and heal your broken heart. Read the full Sunday Message.

* Our public service has limited seating and requires that you adhere to our prescribed safety protocols.

After the service there is an Online Fellowship Gathering conducted through Zoom. This is a weekly check in to keep us connected during this time of social isolation. To join the discussion, click the link above. We would love to know how you are doing.

Your Unity Spiritual Center is sustained by your financial gifts. If you are able, we encourage you to continue your weekly contributions. Click Ways 2 Give for a list of donation options.

Intentional Giving

Unity Spiritual Center of North Idaho relies on people like you to help sustain our operations. The finance committee is working hard on the budget for next year. To give them a sense of what level of support we can rely on, we invite you to make a 2021 Intentional Giving Commitment. Your commitment allows us to set a realistic budget. You can make your commitment online or by filling out a pledge form the next time you visit our Center.

Note: The finance committee will present the budget in January at the Annual Meeting. In addition, there will be a discussion of investment options for the money raised from the property sale plus a presentation of some recommended infrastructure improvements.

Penn and Cave Loop Trail Group Hike

Sunday | November 8 | After the Service

This Canfield Mountain hike follows a 3.8 mile moderately trafficked loop. Although it is designed for motorized trail bikes and mountain biking, it is open to hikers as well. The trail head is at the end of Nettleton Gulch. From Unity, travel south on 15th to Nettleton Gulch Road. Turn left and go east 2.2 miles to the parking area. This should be a fun hike weather permitting. Let Rev. Steve know if you are planning to go or just show up.
